Description: "Admiring biography is based mostly on lengthy interviews with Cardoso's intellectual comrades, political associates, and family members.  Author, a French journalist, finds a consistent ethos of pragmatism bridging Cardoso's two careers as sociologist and politician. Worthwhile reading as the first major biographical (as opposed to intellectual) study of this major figure. Only shortcoming is lack of critical perspective"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
